How's the lakefront property coming along Jimbo?
Pretty much done for the season.
We were up there a week ago with unseasonably warm weather for 3 days. A week ago today it reached 18c (65f) but there was still snow in the shade in the woods. We were able to sit in the sun in our shirt sleeves and enjoy frosty Margaritas. Still got cold at night though... close to freezing. We had to run the generator all night to keep warm.
It gave us a chance to finish up winterization. The roof is tarped, leaks caulked, water drained, toilet waste disposed of, and gasoline preserved.
The great thing about owning the whole lake and having only one road/trail in is that it's easy to keep trespassers out. My man up there says he'll have a new steel gate installed across the road entrance and will fell a few trees across other snowmobile-capable trails before the snow gets deep enough to sled in.
Maybe we'll get lucky and get another freak warm snap, but most likely that's it until we get back from Mexico next spring. Now it's time to start getting ready for Xmas and leave Muskoka behind us for the year. Gotta brush up on the Xmas tunes and get the Santa suit out of the mothballs.
Thanks to Blind Mayor Bitcorn for the statue.
